Simply because they have upgrades together with the tanks and vultures. Wraiths on the other hand, would cost their own upgrades while you would be only spending those upgrades on just one unit from a production facilities. Though sniping observers would be a totally different thing, the idea that you are sniping observers might give the protoss an inkling that you will go cloaked wraiths. | ||

Goliaths are much better as a long term unit because they are much harder to counter, compared to wraiths. Wraiths work much, much better versus carriers than goliaths though, because they have a much faster movement speed, better AI, and can follow the carriers over cliffs. Wraiths are mainly used for a surprise because if they are scouted, a few corsairs can own your wraiths like crazy. | ||

Actually biomech is a decent response to carriers, but if the protoss sees you doing biomech they probably won't get carriers. MnM can really shred interceptors. Then you can mop up with goliaths. I believe there's a rep or VOD somewhere of Sea[shield] v.s Mistrzz that demonstrates that very well. | ||
